Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 26, Hadith 116

Sa’eed narrated from Qatadah: “We wrote to Ibrahim bin Yazid An-Nakha’i asking him about breast-feeding. He wrote back saying that Shuraih had narrated that ‘Ali and Ibn Mas’ud used to say: ‘A little or a lot of breast-feeding makes marriage prohibited.'” In his book, it said that Abu Ash-Sha’tha’ Al-Muharibi narrated that ‘Aishah had told him that the Prophet of Allah used to say: “Suckling (Al-Khatfah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، – يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ – قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ كَتَبْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيِّ نَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ، فَكَتَبَ أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ عَلِيًّا وَابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ قَلِيلُهُ وَكَثِيرُهُ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ الْمُحَارِبِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏
“‏ لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الْخَطْفَةُ وَالْخَطْفَتَانِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 26, Hadith 116

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. The Sunan an-Nasa’i is a foundational text, compiled by the expert traditionist Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century. It is consistently listed as one of the six most vital collections of hadith in Sunni Islamic scholarship. Within its pages are found over 5,700 individual narrations that provide deep insight into the life and rulings of the Prophet Muhammad. The defining characteristic of al-Nasa’i’s work is his application of an exceptionally rigorous and critical methodology for verifying each report. By consciously omitting hadiths he considered weak or fabricated, he produced a volume celebrated for its emphasis on authenticity and its status as a highly reliable source.
